However, most solid-state electrolytes are unstable with lithium metal, forming a high-resistivity interface layer during battery cycling. Furthermore, the poor contact between solid-state electrolytes and lithium metal leads to uneven current distribution, promoting lithium dendrite growth. These dendrites can penetrate the gaps in the solid-state electrolyte and reach the positive electrode, causing a short circuit in the battery.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described below are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments, and are only used to illustrate the present invention, and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall be followed. Where the manufacturers of reagents or instruments are not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0027] The present invention provides a negative electrode comprising a lithium metal layer and a modification layer on at least one surface of the lithium metal layer; the modification layer comprises an organic compound and a non-metallic lithium compound, the organic compound comprising halogens and ether groups, and the arithmetic mean roughness of the modification layer is 0.05 to 1.6 nm.

[0028] In the negative electrode of this invention, organic compounds and non-metallic lithium compounds with specific groups are modified on the lithium metal layer. This reduces the direct contact between the solid electrolyte and the lithium metal, lowers the interfacial impedance, and further improves the deposition / dissolution behavior of lithium, resulting in better battery safety and cycle performance. Specifically, the non-metallic lithium compounds have excellent lithium-ion transport performance, reduce the internal resistance of the electrode, and can also guide the insertion / extraction of lithium ions, resulting in a uniform electric field distribution and preventing the growth of lithium dendrites. In addition, the ether groups contained in the organic compounds in the modification layer improve the wettability of the electrode to the electrolyte. Halogens can passivate lithium metal and effectively suppress side reactions between the electrode and the electrolyte. Furthermore, the arithmetic mean roughness of the modification layer is 0.05–1.6 nm, indicating that the modification layer is tightly and uniformly bonded to the lithium metal layer. This further effectively blocks the contact between the lithium metal negative electrode and the solid electrolyte, while reducing the probability of tip discharge during lithium ion insertion / extraction, reducing the growth of lithium dendrites, and improving the cycle stability of the battery.

[0029] In some embodiments, the organic compound includes at least one selected from 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, chloromethyl methyl ether, chloromethyl ethyl ether, and 2-bromoethyl methyl ether.

[0030] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the content of the organic matter is 0.1% to 5% based on the mass of the modified layer.

[0031] In different embodiments, based on the quality of the modified layer, the content of the organic matter can be, for example, one or any two of the following ranges: 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, and 5%. When the content of the organic matter in the modified layer meets the above requirements, it can ensure that the electrode has better wetting performance while also ensuring uniform deposition of lithium ions and avoiding the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0032] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the porosity of the modified layer is 2% to 10%.

[0033] In various embodiments, the porosity of the modified layer can be exemplary, ranging from one or any two of 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, and 10%. Within these porosity ranges, it is beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrode and reduce the internal resistance of the battery.

[0034] The modified layer of the present invention has high density and can effectively block the contact between the lithium metal anode and the solid electrolyte.

[0035] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the modification layer is 0.05 to 2 μm.

[0036] In different embodiments, the thickness of the modification layer can be, for example, one or any two of the following ranges: 0.05 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.8 μm, and 2 μm. An appropriate thickness of the modification layer can fully exert its effect on improving lithium deposition, effectively enhancing battery safety performance; simultaneously, it can also give the battery lower impedance, improve cycle performance, and facilitate achieving higher energy density. The thickness of the modification layer in this invention, within the above range, ensures both its barrier effect on the lithium metal anode and the solid electrolyte, guaranteeing safety performance, and also ensures battery utilization, improves cycle performance, and increases battery energy density.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the non-metallic lithium compound in the modified layer includes one or more of the following morphologies: sheet-like, granular, and linear. These morphologies of the non-metallic lithium compound facilitate uniform distribution, while simultaneously reducing the lithium-ion transport path and increasing the lithium-ion transport rate.

[0038] To further improve the uniform dispersion of non-metallic lithium compounds and increase the lithium ion transport rate, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the size of the non-metallic lithium compounds is 5 to 500 nm.

[0039] In different embodiments, the size of the non-metallic lithium compound in the modification layer may, for example, be one or any two of the following ranges: 5nm, 10nm, 50nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm, 350nm, 400nm, 450nm, and 500nm.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the non-metallic lithium compound includes any one or more of LiF, LiCl, and LiBr.

[0041] The non-metallic lithium compounds, especially fluorine, in the modification layer can passivate lithium metal, effectively suppressing side reactions between the electrode and the electrolyte, thereby improving the cycle stability of the lithium metal anode. Furthermore, the halide interface formed by the non-metallic lithium compounds possesses high interfacial energy and a low lithium-ion interfacial diffusion barrier, ensuring more uniform lithium metal deposition and effectively suppressing lithium dendrite nucleation and growth. In addition, the halide interface also exhibits good mechanical stability, effectively preventing interface damage during lithium deposition and providing support for the long-term stable cycling of the lithium metal anode.

[0042] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a negative electrode, comprising the following steps:

[0043] The negative electrode is obtained by contacting a lithium metal sheet with a gaseous halogen-containing ether compound.

[0044] In this embodiment, the halogen-containing ether compound includes at least one selected from 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, chloromethyl methyl ether, chloromethyl ethyl ether, and 2-bromoethyl methyl ether. The reaction of the halogen-containing ether compound with lithium metal results in the formation of a modification layer on the lithium metal surface containing a non-metallic lithium compound, as well as halogen-containing and ether groups.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the contact time is 0.5 to 24 hours.

[0046] In different implementations, the contact time may be, for example, a range of one or any two of the following: 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h, and 24h.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0048] Halogenated ether compounds can be heated to yield gaseous halogenated ether compounds.

[0049] The lithium metal sheet is placed in a system of gaseous halogen-containing ether compounds, and the lithium metal sheet is brought into contact with the gaseous halogen-containing ether compounds to produce a negative electrode after the reaction.

[0050] This can be achieved by heating the ether compound to vaporize it. The heating temperature can be adjusted according to the vaporization temperature of the halogen-containing ether compound to ensure that a gaseous halogen-containing ether compound is obtained. For example, the heating temperature can be 80–178°C.

[0051] Heating allows vaporized ether compounds to react with the lithium metal substrate, which can improve the adhesion between the modified layer and the substrate, ensuring a tighter contact between the modified layer and the lithium metal substrate and making the structure less susceptible to damage.

[0052] Another object of the present invention is to provide a solid-state battery, comprising a solid electrolyte and any of the above-described negative electrodes, wherein the interfacial impedance between the solid electrolyte and the negative electrode is 50 to 160 Ω.

[0053] The solid-state battery of the present invention can achieve high safety performance and cycle performance because it uses the negative electrode of the present invention.

[0054] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the solid-state battery further includes: a solid-state electrolyte; the solid-state electrolyte includes any one of inorganic solid-state electrolyte and polymer solid-state electrolyte.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the solid-state lithium battery includes a sulfide solid-state lithium battery.

[0056] Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrical device comprising any of the solid-state batteries described above, wherein the solid-state battery serves as the power supply for the electrical device.

[0057] The electrical device of the present invention includes the above-described solid-state battery, and therefore has at least the same advantages as the solid-state battery.

The negative electrodes from Examples 1-16 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were assembled into solid-state batteries, and the solid-state batteries were subjected to cycle performance and internal resistance tests. The positive electrode of the solid-state battery is lithium cobalt oxide, and the solid electrolyte is Li. 10 GeP2S 12 .

[0147] The cycle performance and rate performance testing methods are as follows: At room temperature, the battery is left to rest for 5 minutes, then charged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to 4.2V, followed by constant voltage charging until the current is less than or equal to 0.05C. After resting for 5 minutes, it is discharged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to 3.0V. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle, and the discharge capacity of this cycle is recorded as the charge-discharge capacity of the lithium-ion secondary battery in the first cycle. The battery is cycled 100 times using the above method, and the charge-discharge capacity of each cycle is recorded. The battery capacity retention rate (%) = discharge capacity of the 100th cycle / discharge capacity of the 1st cycle × 100%. Figure 3 The battery cycle performance test graph of Example 1 is shown.

[0148] The method for testing internal resistance is as follows: the internal resistance of the battery can be obtained using a battery internal resistance tester.

[0149] Roughness: Measured using AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy).

[0154] The test results above show that the negative electrode of the present invention, when used in a battery, can significantly improve the battery's cycle performance and reduce its internal resistance, thereby enhancing its rate performance. Furthermore, data from Examples 1-16 and Comparative Example 3 indicate that the modified layer obtained using the steam method is denser and has lower surface roughness than the modified layer obtained using the traditional immersion method. This effectively reduces tip discharge during lithium ion insertion / extraction at the negative electrode interface, thereby reducing lithium dendrite growth and improving battery cycle performance.

[0155] In addition, Figure 1 , 2 The distribution maps of the F elements in the modified layer in Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, obtained based on EDS mapping tests, are shown respectively. Figure 1 , 2As can be seen, the distribution of F element in the modified layer is more uniform in Example 1, which reflects that the modified layer of fluorine-containing compound obtained in the example is denser and the fluoride distribution is more uniform. Based on this, it can effectively block the contact between the lithium metal anode and the solid electrolyte, and make the lithium ion insertion / extraction process more uniform.

[0156] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
